Oregon Dairy Products
Surpass State Standards
Salem June Dairy Month
is an appropriate time to let
Oregon consumers know that
many Oregon dairy products
surpass the standards required
by state law. This word comes
from Kenneth E. Carl, in
charge of milk law enforce
ment for the state department
of agriculture.

Mail Tribune
We just finished reading a
"Baked Beans." In case you
the writer who has gathered
and changed them into words.
Now that title of "Baked Beans" means, several different
things to different people. To a Navy man baked beans
brings back unpleasant memories of those super-laxative
brown pellets lie scraped off
can.' To the average housewife
plate signals the budget is pretty low this month. But the
baked beans John Gould has written about and which make
our mouth" water are those which came out of a sturdy New
England type cooking pot.
Baked beans have long been a solid food for New Eng
land farm folk. Saturday night, as we learned from our
Maine grandmother, is bean night down east. Probably the
reason for this is it takes much of Saturday afternoon to
prepare a good Sunday meal "fittin' to invite the preacher
to." So a quickly prepared but substantial meal is called for
Saturday night.
Sounds awful? Why? If you

baked beans and brownbread Saturday night, cod-fish balls
with good country bacon Sunday morning and, of course,
the big Sunday dinner. This would, during the summer in
clude corn on the cob, biue-berry muffins and blue-berry pie.
As you should know by now, June Dairy Month started
last Sunday. The idea is to put dairy products in people's
stomachs, thus boost both the health and economy of the
area dairy-wise. This isn't a bad idea. Milk is considered by
authorities on food as one of the most complete foods there
is. Those who aren't drinking
after tasting it fresh from the

line of no-milk drinkers.
However, if June Dairy Month or any other dairy pro
motion is to do any good, it will have to be the start ot, a
lasting selling campaign. One well-known authority on sales
manship says you have to sell the gurgle of the milk, the
golden sweetness in the butter, and the velvety smooth and
cool richness of the ice cream. Also, we might add, the mer
chants have to hear the tinkle of their cash-register bells as
the dairymen's earnings are spent in this area. Then, maybe
some of the more influential merchant-politicos will do some
thing about the dairyman's problems.
Speaking of dairymen, we know of one rated as a pretty
smart cookie by his friends and neighbors. They report his
careful study of the stock market has paid off. Considering
the present situation of the dairyman, you might say this
one is milking the market and feeding his tows.
Plenty of frank praise was heaped on County Horticul
tural Agent Cliff Cordy Tuesday night at the Rogue Valley
County club and we will have to add our two cents worth.
Among his many efforts in furnishing the pear industry
with the right-technical advice is his work in teaching area
pear men how to combat effectively pear blight.
As Charles Smith, assistant director of Oregon State Col
lege Extension service said that night, about 20 years ago it
didn't look as if the plight would leave many pear trees pro
ducing in the valley. Then, Prof. F. C. Reimer, head of the
experiment station here in the early days, got busy with his
crew. Blight resistant root and trunk stock was developed
and more efficient control measures brought out. Cliff and
Lyle Wilcox, who was then county agent, pitched in and, as
our church editor would say, spread the gospel.
As Professor Reimer commented Tuesday night, Cliff
has set a remarkable record in satisfying the growers for
so many years. Reimer added that he has never known the
pear men to agree on one thing 100 per cent as they do
about Cliff's able guidance and major contributions to the
pear industry. From our viewpoint, we do know that Cliff
has been patient and helpful in enabling us to get a better
insight into this prominent part of the valley's economy.
. &
Our contribution to boosting use of dairy products is
this: A dentist told us some time ago that mixing powdered
milk with skimmed milk would give us all the vitamins
of milk which we need for good bone development and
energy without the weight producing part.
Also, we would like to see milk dispensing machines
placed in all the schools. That would give the kids a choice
of drinks, anyway. We understand the industry is now
experimenting with different flavors of milk to make a
stronger bid for the younger consumers.
County agents have been sent recently information on
a new chemical called Simazin. According to the extension
headquarters in Corvallis, this has been cleared for use on
field and sweet corn. .
Recommended dosage is two pounds as a pre-emergent
spray for broad leaf weed control. This means one pound
of active chemical.
Recommended dosage for barnyard grass is four to six
pounds per acre or two to three pounds of active chemical.
Equipment used should have some agitation. Also, there
should be at least a half inch of moisture to activate the
chemical.
Authorities warn that four to six . pounds of Simazin
can damage legume or ryegrass cover crops. It is recom
mended that rye, winter barley or oats be used for cover
crops where this type of spray has been used.
One of the purposes of June
Dairy Month is to promote
better public understanding of
the dairy industry and its
products, Carl continues. He
lists Oregon standards so con
sumers may be aware of the
quality of the state-inspected
dairy products they buy.

Slate Weed Pests;
Field Day Set
Corvallis Public enemies
No. 1, 2, and 3 among Oregon
weeds have been identified
in a recent survey of Oregon
county extension agents.
Agents put the finger on
Canada thistle, wild morning
glory, and tansy ragwort as
the most persistent weed para
sites operating against Ore
gon farm crops. The first two
pests will get major attention
at an Oregon State college
weed field day, June 6, near
Corvallis.
The field day starts at 9:30
a.m. at the OSC Hyslop ex
perimental farm midway be
tween Corvallis and Albany
just off Highway 20.
William Furtick and David
Chilcote, OSC researchers,
will report methods of getting
90 to 95 percent control of
Canada thistle with the new
chemical ATA, using 8. pounds
per acre of the commercial
product. The weed was re
ported a major pest in 22 Ore
gon counties.
Morning Glory Menace
Wild morning glory was
listed a menace in 17 counties,
mostly in the Columbia Basin.
Control is still in the experi
mental stage with field trials
throughout Oregon using a
new herbicide of the Chloro
benzoic acid family. Furtick
will give a progress report.
Tansy ragwort is running
wild in 12 Oregon counties,
mainly in the coastal area
but needlessly the research
ers say. Early June spraying
with 2, 4-D ester before the
weed blooms will give excel
lent control.
Hard-to-control quackgrass
was named among the three
most troublesome weeds in
eight counties, and Russian
thistle ranked high in seven
counties. White top and gorse
also rated the "most unwant
ed" list as worst pests in three
counties.
Other weed problems sched
uled for review at the field
day include use of new chemi
cals some just coming on
the market this year for
"selective control" of weeds
in clover, corn, and cereal
crops.
New research findings for
chemical control of Weeds in
strawberry fields also will be
reported.
Field Day On
Red Soil Study
Corvallis New research
findings for more efficient
crop production on Western
Oregon's red hill soils will be
reDoried June 20 at the an
nual field day of the Oregon
State college Red Soils branch
experiment station near Ore
gon City.
J. T. McDermid, station su
perintendent,- has scheduled
the field tour from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. at the station south of
Oregon City just off the high
way to Molalla.
Program highlights include
a reDort on soil fertility ex
periments with alfalfa and
other relume crops by T. L,

State Finds Errors
In Milk Payments
Salem The first audit of
86 milk plants completed un
der the new grade A rtilk
usage law should, result in
adjustments to grade A pro
ducers aggregating into ,six
figures, Robert J. Steward, di
rector of the state department
of agriculture, has just re
vealed. In two cases, pro
ducers were overpaid by a to
tal of more than S2500.
The milk auditors, whom
Steward says are highly quali
fied in their field, are headed
by D. P. Shoup as field super
visor. "Producers should not jump
to the conclusion that process
ing plants have deliberately
underpaid them for milk,"
Steward said. "Adjustments
have already been made in
some cases and will be made
shortly in others; one group
of producers voluntarily for
gave an underpayment," Stew
ard added.
He cited several Teasons for
the improper payments, most
of which involved pooling pro
cedures. Causes included im
proper deductions from a milk
pool, including transportation
charges deducted from a total
pool instead of the portion to
which they belong; improper,
conversion factors; inadequate
records; mathematical errors;
and methods, payment policies
and plant operations of which
management was unaware.
Can Be Corrected
He said none of these situa
tions present problems which
plants cannot correct before
the next semi-annual audit
He added that on the whole
plants have cooperated very
well with the auditors. N
"The first round of audits
has been largely exploratory
and the department has at
tempted to see that producers
are reimbursed," Steward ex
plained. But in future audits,
he said, the department busi
ness manager, E. A. Bamford,
who is responsible for the
milk usage audit, will mail
producers notice of comple
tion of an audit and whether
it is satisfactory or unsatisfac
tory. One of the biggest problems
in the audits is tracing the
flow of milk. This involves a
study of both fluid and manu
facturing milk received at
each plant. Largely because of
this problem, the department
made 12 reaudits during the
initial period.
On the point of inadequate
records, Shoup's report shows
that on paper some plants
used more milk than they re
ceived and others showed
losses running as high as 42
per cent of the intake.
Steward said the depart
ment has found only one oper
